bathroom sink drain leaking replaced broken tailpiece

[@gaslitgames]

Ty for accurately portraying what I'm about to experience replacing that tailpiece. So many videos where it seems like they're working in a walk in undersink. Wish me luck.

[@loubino18]

This method worked 100% for me - took me only 3 mins of using the screwdriver to chip out the old tail piece. Was done with the replacement & cleanup in under 15 mins. Thanks Steve!!

[@roseannww5623]

A million thanks to you! This is the exact issue I had and the first and only video that showed how to fix it! P.S. I cursed like hell during my attempts to fix this!! Trust me, you're a lightweight!!

[@devoinc1]

Thank you for making this, saved me a lot of time and stress. Was about to embark on a much more in depth repair when all I really needed was this one.

[@valencia6101]

Great video- of you always breathe heavy like that, maybe do no sound and voice over to explain what you’re doing?

[@EDWINy0]

the tailpeice on my sink leaks from the top where u have the blue silcone stuff. any advice on how to stop it from leaking. i have teflon tape on mine but its not working.

[@brittanyperillo9741]

I have a plastic piece that’s over the broken pieces so I can’t seem to get the broken pieces out. What can I do?

[@froglet16]

Thanks for the video! This is what I need to do with my bathroom sink. It'll be less stressful now.

[@maxgottfried]

After 30 minutes of cursing and trying to fit the replaced pipe, you saved my bacon with this video. I was 2 seconds from calling my plumber until I scraped (and cursed) and scraped some more (and cursed some more) until I finally got the new pipe to fit. I used teflon tape since I didn't have any dope handy. After seeing how it's done properly, I felt like a dope.

[@tristansevertson5014]

and the teflon tape worked?

[@maxgottfried]

@@tristansevertson5014 Worked like a charm, since I didn't have any 'dope'.

[@mendoncaangelo]

Where do u get the tail piece?

[@cherrygingham]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@walkaboutneil]

So what did I learn today? Trust in rust. I took heart and continued to chip away at the rusted off piece in the tailpiece. It did have weak points that finally gave. Thanks from DIYer that added one more "skill" to his list. Thurmbs up.

[@Ib2legit]

What's that blue stuff he's putting on there and what's it for?

[@jameschappelle2870]

Where did you get the replacement pipe whats it called

[@GustavCarl17]

2:00 my feelings about being crammed in this tight spot exactly. Thanks!

[@teh60]

Great job Steve, you always use high quality parts for repairs. I try to buy all the same stuff that you use........tools and parts.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

teh60 good parts make a big difference

[@joebal9044]

Nice job Steve. What is the brand name of that blue thread sealant you use?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Joe Bal mega lock there are so many good new pipe dopes out there there all good i have been using this one for so long now maybe i need to try some of the newer ones on the market

[@joebal9044]

steven lavimoniere thxs Steve. How do you decide to use pipe dope, teflon tape or teflon tape and dope together?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

if its plastic use just teflon ,if it copper use both teflon and pipedope ,gas pipe is just pipedope.

[@joebal9044]

steven lavimoniere Is Mega Lock compatible with Teflon tape? I would think the pipe dope would have to contain PTFE to assure it's compatible with the tape.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

i have no issue using both together

[@trinidadtrujillo1359]

Hey I have a question on the air conditioning video, if you go from r22 to 410a refrigerant, if you change the condensing unit to 410a do you have to change the evaporater or if it's ok to just change the piston.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Trinidad Trujillo depends how new the evaporator is if its new you can just change the piston remember to pull a good vacuum

[@ralphwilliams6232]

Ty ,the only one l found that showed having to clear the broken pieces out.

[@strategicservices9906]

I have enjoyed your videos on the years including your cooking videos. I have a question. I bought a small office building. The shutoff valve to bathroom is rusted in open position and needs another as well as new fluidmaster( very slow water fill). There is no main shutoff. My question is should I put a main shutoff valve very close to wall where the water enters the building in the next room by the heating system or leave some room?? I'll have to call the City to turn off the water to do this. Your input would be appreciated.

[@1_francis_18]

Wao, first thanks for uploading this video. My bathroom pipe just broke same as this had not idea how to fix it. Well it is quite a work. I wonder why not to have all PVC in here to avoid this problem. In the mean time I will try not to tight it to much and see if no drains occurs. (2017-12-31 @ 10:25 AM (EST)

[@sweetiepienumber1]

Hi, I'm looking at a brass one that the previous owner -- unbelievably caulked on the outside in an attempt to repair. I think I have a plastic replacement. I hate cabinets. They should put the plumbing somewhere else so I don't have to contort myself or bend over. Thanks.

[@arniegrote319]

Nice Job Steve, Had to catch up on your vids, Gone over the weekend, Grand daughter Birthday party, Just turned 3. Grand papa got to be their.

[@dklucas1]

Great job Steven as always

[@stevenlavimoniere]

dklucas1 no more leaks

[@artm2541]

I added Teflon tape on that as well as dope, is there anything wrong with doing that?

[@427yenko67]

No

[@wickiitt9877]

You had to use channel locks on the tailpiece, that's hilarious! Tape, dope nice and tight with your plumber forearm

[@Joe-eg7ml]

whats is the blue stuff you used on the threads of the pipe? I bought a new two piece drain assembly and that section of you replace on the new assembly still leaks. Used plumbers tape and still leaks(droplets). Any pointers? thanks. awesome vid btw!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Joe O i coat the treads with pipe dope helps to stop leaks , i use mega lock pipe dope but anyone will do

[@BradRBPUCK]

Talk about doing surgery on a drain pipe. Good job fishing that piece out. If I was the customer and I new you went thru all that I'd give a nice tip. Lol

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Brad B i get tips from time to time

[@truthwrld2347]

[@rameshpersaud7131]

Yep very helpful

[@benstaton744]

all sink calls I always clean the aerator just as an extra measure! show the customer how much crap in stuck in it

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Ben Staton not a bad idea .

[@h2oquality2010]

Seems unusual to have this problem on such a new looking sink. Don't you just love working in that cramped position. I swear far worse than you when I got to get under there!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Domo all in a days work

[@marcboz2345]

Is Darth Vader making this video?

[@Brad1237202]

You just cannot buy good plumbing parts at the "Big Box" stores even if you wanted to spend the extra money. It's all that thin China crap!!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Brad1237202 this lady is talking about replacing both sinks

[@oscarpansy1001]

Very tense moment at 2:00
